      Hi,

      i can mount the retropie roms folder without problems in windows 7 and can copy the files. But normally i use ubuntu (for that little windows test i've installed it in a virtual machine) and mount network shares using autofs. also mounting using this command doesn't work

      sudo mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.10.33/roms /mount/point
      

      Here i can navigate to the folders but i can't copy roms.

        @Maynard Probably because it's mounted as root and you regular user doesn't have write acces.

          OK, works when i mount with option uid=1000 in autofs.network. Thanks for the hint.
